Lien Hoang Mr. Donoughe 6­7­16 8­7 The county council should allow the monument to stay where it is because taking it away would be taking away a part of our history. The debate was on whether the monument of Confederates soldiers should be removed because they represented a side that supported slavery. Many would find this offensive, but many would be angered if that statue was put away. This monument is historic and should be preserve for it showing a part of our past. It can be a reminder and others can learn from it to study our histor...

Jessica Hoang Ms.Duran English 11 Honors 23 February 2016 Anti­Abortion Movement The topic that  am researching is abortion rights. More specifically, the March for Life that is held every year in Washington D.C. The march is a peaceful demonstration to share the truth concerning the greatest rights violation of our time, legalized abortion on demand. The piece of literature that I am planning on connecting my topic to is Dr.King’s “Letter to Birmingham jail”. The March is a large scale protest resistance to unjust law, which is an example that Martin Luther King Jr. wro...

“When the whole world is silent, even one voice becomes powerful” Malala stated. The consequences and risks are always worth it when facing against injustice. Three sources and examples that support this is in an article called “Taliban Gun Down Girl Who Spoke Up for Rights”, a speech spoken by Severn Cullis­Suzuki, and a poem called “Protest” written by Ella Wheeler Wilcox. The first source that supports why facing injustice is always worth it is from an article called “Taliban Gun Down Girl Who Spoke Up for Rights”. It is about a brave 11 year...

Jessica Hoang Ms. Duran English11 Honors 22 March 2016  Moving forward             For hundreds of years, the government has been adding, changing, and removing laws numerous times. However, the process of changing the law is not quick nor is it easy. Most of the time, change requires endless efforts of raising awareness to gain support, proposing bills, petitioning, and many more. Martin Luther King Junior was a transcendentalist who promotes the idea of large scale protest resistance to unjust laws in his “Letter from Birmingham Jail.” In his writing, he touched on the subject regarding the importance of one’s moral responsibility by standing up for the rights that they are entitled to when those rights are violated. The awareness that the Civil Rights Movement desperately needed at the moment was brought by Dr. King’s responding letter. Despite the fact that society is moving in the right direction with th...

I am from purses, from Pink and pedicures.  I am from the trips to dance lessons. (Sweaty, painful, they weren’t just about pretty hair and makeup.) I am from the “We can do it!” the 11 by 14 poster whose message I live by   with everything I do. I’m from bedazzled bows and uniforms,           from Twisters and Worlds. I’m from the 3 hour practices           and the days off, from “Don’t get mad, get better.” I’m from Friday night’s games           with blue and red poms poms           and the National Anthem. I’m from SaiGon pho and rice. From the English as second language classes           to Vietnamese-English dictionary, the family I left for a brighter future. There’s a dusty album not fully...

Lien Hoang Grade 8 Dec. 2015 “Would You Have Quit?”  “The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman.” (Thomas Paine) In history class, students were given an assignment to write an essay on whether to stay or go at Valley Forge during the Revolutionary War. Staying would be a better choice for me personally. I chose to stay at Valley Forge because why quit when you can help serve your country honorably instead o...

You are 14th.  Looking at you growing up I realize just how fast time is going by. I still remember the day I felt there was a small angel in me. I and your dad were so happy but also very anxious. One day, two days then three days...you grew in me, bit by bit. Then I had to stay home to rest and to protect you from many kind of sickness I might get from work. Your grandparents asked me eat everything they believed that made you smart and pretty. They were right. I took Prenatal care everyday. You were still growing in me everyday and then came first day I could feel your movement. I saw your small hands touching me, you little feet kicking. And I know I love you so much. Sometimes I could catch your elbow. That was so wonderful....the biggest joy and happiness God gave me and all the women in the world. Then I came to know my angel was a baby girl. I was so anxious when the doctor moved the camera on my belly. But thanked God. I finally had a little duck in me. Ultrasound re...
